Re: [Avid-L2] Favorite mac encoder these days?

 

I've never actually worked with Telestream Episode. I've simply never needed it. And now I never will, because it's been taken off the market. 


Next on my list for deinterlace testing is Resolve actually. I'm hoping some Teranex tech has rubbed off on Resolve.

Cheers,

Episode does have a deinterlacing option that I use with good results for my mp4's, but yes, experiment to see if it fits your needs.
Episode, not Encore...   :-)

   Assuming you are making MP4's at moderate bitrates (2+Mbps), almost anything will do. MP4 codecs are highly refined. I happen to use Encoder mostly. I get slightly different results between Encoder and Compressor, but I can't see that either is better. I stopped using Sorenson when I saw that it was altering gamma significantly on my MP2s. That was a VERY long time ago and I've never gone back.
If for some reason you are making MP2's, then I'm not a fan of any of those. I use TMPEGEnc (now Video Masterworks) from Pegasys on Windows for MP2 except for DVD spec elements at 7-9Mbps. In that case, I use Compressor. If it looks bad I go to TMPEGEnc. It's actually the only thing I still use Windows for. It does a good job with MP4 as well. I never tried to install TMPEGEnc in a virtual machine on a Mac, but I considered it. I believe it would work, especially if you have an nVidia card.
I also like Handbrake if it is more convenient. I generally do this only to go from MKV (Encoder does not like) or directly from encoded disc. 
By the way, the big three are all pretty crappy at deinterlacing with Encoder arguably the worst. I still struggle with deinterlacing. Oddly Handbrake is pretty good, but not at it's defaults. Fortunately I don't have to deinterlace very often. When I do, it generally requires some experimentation.

It has been awhile since I last checked out the options for encoding. 

I tend to export a QT Reference and then encode outside the AVID.

Assuming Mac only, any opinions on Squeeze vs Compresser vs Adobe Media
Encoder (vs Handbrake or anything else?)

Mostly I am making screeners of cuts from a 10.10.5 Mid-2014 MBP to post
for client review.

Thanks for any advice!
